Julien Doré: “I’m not afraid of silence”
Julien Doré, a committed artist, uses his notoriety to promote concrete actions and raise public awareness of ecological issues through his music and his personal initiatives.
From TV to “stardom”
Originally from Alès, in the south of France, Julien Doré began his career as a participant in the musical reality TV show “Nouvelle Star” in 2007, where he quickly stood out for his unique style and his charisma. Her original and daring cover of popular songs captivated audiences and judges, allowing her to make a name for herself in the music industry.
After “Nouvelle Star”, he released his first album, “Ersatz”, in 2008, which met with critical and commercial success, thus consolidating his notoriety and launching a promising career which continues successfully today.
His activism
Sensitive to environmental issues since his childhood in the Cévennes, Julien has gradually integrated these concerns into his daily life and his career. Its first ecological commitments were marked by public positions and concrete actions. For example, he left Paris to return to live in the Cévennes, seeking to reconnect with nature and adopt a lifestyle more in line with his ecological beliefs. This return to his sources allowed him to reduce his personal ecological footprint, to reconnect with an environment that he considers vital for his balance and to inspire his actions and his artistic works by this rediscovered proximity with nature.It was therefore in 2020, with the release of his album “Aimée”, that Julien Doré began to use music as a means of raising awareness of environmental issues among his audience. In the title “La Fever”, for example, he highlights the devastating consequences of human activity on the Earth, and in particular global warming.
An “unfiltered” commitment
In 2021, Julien Doré became a headliner when he expressed his disagreement with the emphasis on everyday ecological "small gestures", such as recycling or reducing the use of plastic. Although he recognizes their symbolic importance, he considers that these individual actions are not enough to resolve major environmental crises. According to him, focusing on these actions is a way for the system to divert attention from the real responsibilities of big companies and governments. By encouraging individuals to focus on their own behaviors, the system avoids questioning the industrial and political practices that are the main contributors to the ecological crisis.
